UTCA STATEMENT ON CONFIRMATION OF DUFFY AS U.S. SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION

WALL – Utility and Transportation Contractors Association (UTCA) Executive Director David Rible issued the following statement today regarding Senate confirmation of former U.S. Representative Sean Duffy as the next Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation:

“We congratulate Rep. Duffy on his confirmation and look forward to working with him to strengthen New Jersey’s – and the nation’s – infrastructure. We have long noted that infrastructure is among the smartest, most critical investments we can make. This is especially true in New Jersey where roads, bridges, rail, ports and airports drive our economy. We look to Washington now to continue those investments, especially on the new Gateway Tunnel. As always, we stand ready, willing and able to assist the new Secretary and the U.S. Department of Transportation in these efforts.”
